You kill me man!!

Please, don't give me any ideas, I can come up with my own.


Trouble is that your own ideas are shit, and everyone is telling you that but you are too dumb to see the truth.

I'm too dumb to see the truth? I am the truth!

Joined today. Read yr post and the article attached. Very interesting. My comment,
One of the reasons why the 1 percent Exodus are so "filthy rich" is their ability to know when to desert a sinking ship, in this case it is America. Their debt is incomprehensible and I cant see it ever recovering in the The 1 percent's lifetime. If I resided in America I would seriously take note and leave also, while I could!

The other day I was watching an interview with billionaire Donald Trump. Relative to President Obama's hostility toward the rich, Trump casually mentioned that "some of my friends are leaving the country."

Accordingly, this article captured my interest. http://frontpagemag.com/2012/02/06/the- ... ontPageMag

Of course, they also depart with their wealth and their tendency to create wealth by various means.


That is what they are saying in EVERY western country. Where are they going to go?

Where ever that might be they require an infrastructure which is provided by taxes and the 99%, without us they are impotent to create money.

Brilliant there, Comrade Chaz. Let's see, the government taxes the rich, then builds things with their money, then uses that theft as an excuse to steal even more of their money?

I say good riddance to the selfish 1%, I hope some really bad health issues shows up on their doorstep. I say don't let them come back for any reason. If it weren't for the USA they wouldn't have the money they do. It's a crime for them to have the money that they do in light of those that face to so much hardship. It's a crime for them to cheat on taxes via Swiss bank accounts.

On the opposite side of the coin, another has joined with Buffet and Gates with their philanthropy agenda, I say bravo! If I had that much money, there would be four of us.

I say boo to those that 'take the money and run,' they're the worst kind of human.



So, let me get this straight? Someone who earns their money is "selfish" because they want to keep it, while someone like you, who wants to steal their money is unselfish?

What are you smoking son? I never said anything about stealing from anyone. You're talking to someone that doesn't believe in any construct that worships money or any variation thereof. The very creation, or acceptance, of a monetary system, is one of selfishness, pure and simple!!!!

Gee, I didn't realize that there were so many five-year-olds on this site. I was definitely mistaken in thinking there were intelligent people here to convcerse with. Have fun in your make-believe world of insulting the evil people who believe in using money to get along in life.
